The Plot Thickens for Short-course RT in Rectal Cancer

Nina Niu Sanford, Assistant Professor and Chief of Gastrointestinal Radiation Oncology at Harvard/Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital, shared a post on X:

“And the plot thickens for short-course RT in rectal cancer!

72% cCR and 57% 2-year TME free survival via 4 cycles FOLFOX/CAPOX –> 25-30Gy/5 fraction RT (short course with optional boost).

Congrats Hyun Kim and looking forward to study details.”
